Scepticism has taken many forms...
doubting Thomas...
pessimist...
the questioner...
the intrigued....
the scientist...
the explorer...
...or basically, a person who habitually doubts the authenticity of accepted beliefs, a person who mistrusts people, ideas, etc, in general.
However these tendencies form in you, today we celebrate,
International Sceptics Day!
According to Holiday Insights, there is quite a bit of scepticisim surrounding this questionable holiday. First of all, they (who know's who) don't really know when to celebrate this day. Some have said that the day is actually January 13th, others say that it is October 13th. There is still another group of sceptics that say the holiday should land on the first Friday the 13th of the year. (http://www.holidayinsights.com/moreholidays/October/internationalskepticsday.htm)
But basically, no one really knows! Or do we know?
Of course, the internet says! But what power does the internet have? Is it always accurate?
No, but we have to discern between the true and false. How can you discern? What if you discern wrongly?
Just trust the author. Who is the author? Is it another sceptic?
Today, we celebrate the "sceptic" in you!
:) I laughed.
